“Outback Wrangler”

Season Premiere Friday, January 13 at 8 PM ET/PT on Nat Geo Wild

In this all new season of “Outback Wrangler,” follow the extraordinary everyday life of helicopter pilot and animal relocation expert Matt Wright. Raised in the rugged Australian outback, Matt has developed a unique set of skills to solve problems with animals that, for various reasons, are posing a threat to people. Matt’s mission is to confront these animals head-on and relocate them. Whether wrangling deadly snakes, wrestling wild bulls or dangling hundreds of feet below a moving helicopter to land inside a crocodile nest (while the mother croc is right there), Matt is at the center of the action as he does his part to reset the delicate balance between people and dangerous animals.

Premiere episodes include:

Outback Wrangler: Big Bad Croc
Friday, Jan. 13 at 8/7c

Matt Wright gets a call from a few local fishermen who report that a large crocodile is menacing them on the river. Matt calls his friends and they head out to the area to set a trap in order to relocate the croc to safer waters. No one realized the massive size of the animal and a battle ensues between Matt’s crew and one of the largest crocodiles they’ve seen.

Matt Wright is helping relocate problem crocodiles from a friend's land so he can ensure the safety of his herd of cattle, but the situation turns urgent when two of the land owner’s dogs goes into the dam and only one comes back out. There are crocodiles everywhere Matt turns in these waters, and he and his crew prepare for a long day as they realize they have their work cut out for them.

Matt Wright and his team have been asked to control the crocodile population in a water system alongside a large cattle station. They need to relocate one massive large crocodile, along with a few smaller crocs, to reduce the damage they are causing to the cattle. The job turns out to be more difficult than expected as a looming monsoon forces them to rush and wrangle these rowdy crocs in only 48 hours.

Crocodile conservationist Matt Wright has been searching for a problem croc that has been smashing up his traps. This is a huge, powerful animal that is also a master of disguise.
